Es increíble el talento y la capacidad de Barenboim, uno de los músicos más geniales de los últimos 50 años. Y junto al gran Celibidache, se hace aún más gigante.
Barenboin es realmente excepcional como pianista y director de orquesta.... En su interpretación de BEETHOVEN es fuerte...enérgico...pone toda el alma en cada nota.... Escuchándolo ahora en Brahams....UUUUFFFF......GENIAL...FANTASTICO
+demalexandru e atat de jenant, stimate domn, sa te-arunci cu genul asta de comentarii de lumea a 3-a. care ar fi relevanta faptului ca celibidache a fost roman? geniul e universal, nu are nationalitate.
I am so grateful for having this truly immortal performance. Too bad today's young conductors don't feel the need to learn from the old masters. Magnificent performance. THANK YOU!
I really enjoy this performance because Barenboim works for every note, and he makes every note count. Giant impact. Fantastic drama. Brahms almost never just falls under your hands as does music from other composers. He wanted what he wanted, and if that makes the music inconvenient to play, tough. The first movement of this piece is ten feet tall, and Barenboim delivers.
I first encountered Celibidache by way of his Bruckner performances, but I am glad to see that he does a wonderful job with Brahms as well. This is my absolute favorite piano concerto.
Awesome Daniel Barenboim ! He is citizen of the World ! 4 nationalities !!! Born in 1942 in Argentina, he is one of the most famous pianist & conductor in world. He is Argentinian and Israeli in first (he is of Russian Jewish descent) ; in 2002 he obtained Spanish nationality ! And since 2008 he is carrying a Palestinian passport !... His first wife was the great British violoncellist Jacqueline Du Pré. Actually he is the conductor of the ' Scala de Milano'. ( 2011 to 2016)

J'aime le talent de cet homme et son ouverture d'esprit. La Musique rassemble. Merci LAMIRAL45
I totally agree. This performance is magisterial. Brahms' wistfulness and romantic nostalgia is there together with perfectly clear fraseggio. Bravo maestro Barenboim. Celibidache is one of the unsung heroes of conducting in the past century.
I Have Heard This Concerto all of my Life , But Never Like This !! This Performance Was A REVELATION of This Great Concerto !! Brahms , Celibidache , Barenboim, a match made in Heaven !!!....
Celibidache, con su tempo siempre un poco más demorado que los demás directores, permite disfrutar la música hasta lo más profundo de su esencia. Para ello hay que tener su dominio, su sensibilidad y un instrumento tan perfecto como la Filarmónica de Munich. Y Barenboim es un magnífico cómplice. Dos genios.
Brahms' no.2 concerto is said to be one of the most difficult piano pieces.First performance was in Nov.9,1881. Brahms himself played the piano with great success. Later, Hans von Bülow conducted. Barenboim and Celibidache are philosopher of music.
Celibidache conducts the orchestra with such an impulse and with such an intelligent musical phrasing that it transcends music of Brahms. Celibidache takes literally Barenboim in a piano “fougue”. The force and the tempi in this concerto are remarkable and give the “impression” to follow the music like the brush stokes of a painter. Expression, tensions and expressionistic cumulating points, this concert has it all. Thank you for posting this amazing document. “La musique n'est pas de nature statique ; elle n'existe pas comme un état d'être défini. Elle est toujours un devenir, sans jamais accéder à une forme d'existence.” S. Celibidache
Dear Olli: thank you for your comments which are diligently interesting and challenging. Usually, I do not like to make connections between visual arts and music with some rare exceptions (Debussy, Stravinsky & few others), Celibidache... The main difference between the two disciplines are: music is interpretation after something that has been written and does not exist without musicians. Painting is perhaps a "purest" creative process since it does not include interpretation or a re-creative process. But most important are the “needs” which apply in all sort of creations defined by Husserl. I hope you do not mind this comment. . Thank you again for your response..
This one by far! I believe there were many years between their respective compositions. This has everything: exquisite calm and tranquillity, subtle delicacy, melodic accessibility, towering virtuosity, intellectual maturity, power and grandiloquence, narrative coherence and it’s hewn from bedrock of unimpeachable pedigree. This is my favourite piece of orchestral music. (Can you tell?)
I was pleasantly surprised that (notwithstanding some earlier comments) this was not the foot-dragging performance I was expecting from S.C., but a beautifully paced, balanced, and articulate one which had real soul. Nice to see smiles at the end of II: they knew they had pulled it off.
Brahms ranks among the world's greatest composers for his mastery of orchestration and form. I am a composer who has been awed by the wide range emotions in his works ranging from thunderous climaxes to quiet contemplation.
Tout est clarté, autant dans le jeu pianistique de Barenboim que dans la direction de l'immense Celibidache. c'est une des plus grandes version de ce grand oeuvre de Brahms. Chef-d'oeuvre d'ouverture sur la magie du monde.
Barenboim,s performance is incomparable . This song is unrelated to the forgetting of the years . It continues to impress our hearts beyond the times . From Tokyo in Japan .
These two priceless seconds from 38:28-38:30 I think explain it all! It started at 38:21, but the expression on the conductor's face at those two minutes gives it all away. Celestial!
Great performance. Wonderful orchestral sounds. Especially the second movement. Great writing for horn by Brahms. I hope youtube continues to provide all this music. I'll gladly pay for it.
I thought Richter "owned" the Brahms 2nd until I heard Barenboim's rendition. It might lack a bit of Richter's amazing technical skill, but it makes up for it in the lovely interpretation which he sustains throughout this long and varied work. The connection between the pianist and the orchestra is never compromised here. It is not a soloist and an orchestra, but one continuous river of music, a delight from start to finish!
I always find myself rooting for Barenboim in whatever he tries to do. His playing is always grounded in excellent style and rhythm, and goes a little out of bounds in terms of expression and tone, which can't really be held against him in this great literature. Bravo!
Oi, mãe. Tudo bem? O programa do Reinaldo Azevedo, colunista da Veja, pode ser ouvido aqui em Guará e em São Paulo, a partir da 18h, pela Jovem Pan, 1080 Mhz. Diz o "site" da JP que ele é transmitido em rede nacional. Chama-se "Os pingos nos is". Estou tentando verificar se ele é também transmitido para o Rio de Janeiro e em qual faixa. Vale a pena ouvir para ficar informado de tudo, tudo mesmo o que está se passando nesse governo agonizante do PT e para dar umas boas risadas também. Assim que eu descobrir algo, eu informo você. Beijo!
I saw this concert for the first time in 1997 on K7 tape. I didn't know Brahms. The first audition was passionate. I consider it the most intense reading of the work.
jjustie lucchesi Your smile that I just shed gives amusement and a feeling of happiness to me. Would you like to come to Japan overflowing in surprise and an impression❓ You will encounter unimaginable surprise and impression. We wait for you who are luscious. Greetings from Japan . Sayonara！
I am listening,watching this concert with using new Samsung ear phone , I tell you sounds are really spectacular and it's like they play this concerto in front of you !! Please enjoy with it !!!
No, the first Brahms' piano concerto is a bit longer than this one. And the longest piano concerto lasts more or less than 70 minutes. ruclips.net/video/ohPzurDZzZ4/видео.html
Every time I see/hear Berenboim, I can't help thinking about the enormous gap in time since he lost Jackie. How promising her career was; how long and fulfilling his has been.
Me too. Whenever I see Mr.Barenboim performing, I think about his terrible tragedy -- loosing Jackie. Jackie was his love from Heavens. But suffering usually help an artist to become more intellectually and spiritually mature by inserting his deep human emotions into the music he plays.This why, I think his Brahms performing is so passionate and gripping! I can hear his tormented soul in it. By listening to the Munchen Philharmonic orchestra, Maestro - Celibidache and Barenboim I hear the incredible "canvas of Devine music, painted" by all there amazing performers in total unison with strikingly beautiful, tender and stunning colors.What a revelation this concert! Thank you all great musisians for that!
It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear such beautiful stirring music. Superb performance! And believe me underneath that smart tuxedo he is sweat soaked, this is incredibly hard work and very draining. (Years ago I saw maestro Leonard Bernstein in concert and after 7 curtain calls they were swaying with fatigue. What a night.) As for the orchestra....all these people coming together for the love of music, who says humans can't work together for good?.
Barenboim captures all the subtle beauty and radiance of the first movement, shimmering...thoughtful...exquisite musicality and poetic beauty. What a gifted pianist! He reminds me of Rubenstein's Rachmaninov: no excess...just lustrous, vibrant music to relish.
By the way, it has been just by chance that I am listening to this just a day after the 100th anniversary of maestro Celebidache. R. I. P. and God bless him.
By the way, I agree with your comment about Glenn Gould. George Malcolm was great, but he wasn’t the virtuoso that Gould was. There is one other person, whose career was cut so short that most people are unaware of his unmatched greatness: Dinu Lipatti seemed to be able to play the definitively perfect demonstration performance of everything he touched. The only problem is his performances are not subject to the scrutiny of modern recording technology because of the tragedy of his life being cut short. I was introduced to him by a friend who worked with me at the HMV Record Shop in Oxford Street in the 1970s when it had the largest classical record collection in the world under its roof. (Even the New York stores didn’t rival it). Pianists, both students from the great London colleges of music and some world famous professional pianists, used to come in and ask us which records they should buy. I was the piano specialist in the department and I met quite a lot of great performers. One really famous, and therefore wealthy, pianist was such a stingy, tight-fisted character he would spend several hours listening to famous pianists playing the works that he was due to showcase that evening, at the Festival Hall no less. To be fair, he was so widely and continuously traveled that I doubt the poor guy had much time at home on his own piano. One Saturday afternoon, he came in and I noticed him before my colleagues were aware of his being there. I motioned him into a booth, told him to choose which versions he liked best, and then played what I thought were the greatest recorded performances of what he faced that night at the Festival Hall. After he was finished, which took about two hours at least, he asked me who I thought was the greatest recorded pianist who ever lived. I said, “That’s easy: Dinu Lipatti”. He said, “How did you know that, my boy? Are you a music student?” I said, “No, I’m a preclinical medical student, but I’ve been playing and listening to piano music since I was three, and I don’t listen to piano teachers at the colleges; they’re teachers, not doers”. He said, “Oh my G-d, I have three children who have all played piano since they were three years old. Two are already quite well known, and the third is a doctor; and who do you think is the best musician?” “The doctor?”, I asked. “Of course!”, he said with great excitement. “But he isn’t as agile as the others, which is why he chose not to be a professional pianist”. “That’s exactly my problem”, I said. “I can hear entire symphonic scores in my head; I could write them out; but I don’t have the agility in my fingers. I always knew it and refused every teacher who tried to get me to go to music college. There was no way. The only person who understood was my father, who came from a poor family and never learned to play the piano, but had a better ear for music than those teachers, one of whom was internationally known. How I still miss his wisdom after more than 40 years!
Incredible: composer, conductor and pianist are masters of technique and expression. And Brahms fits the playing style of conductor and pianist too. One of the most amazing things I ever heard. Thanks for upload
Brahms' orchestration is such a master piece that I don't think Barenboim dares to conduct while playing piano, as what he's done to many other concertos.
Extraordinary performance, Celibedache in his perfect mature conduction and Barenboim in his sumit of piano interpretation , both of them the perfectc combination .In such a tempo anyone can appreciate all the Orchestra interpretation and the solo and fabuolus chords of the piano and the geniality of BRAHMS.Thanks for posting this wonderfull piano concert mastepiece.
Al maestro Celibidache le tengo un profundo respeto. Recientemente estoy disfrutando de sus versiones de las sinfonías de Beethoven, hoy me complazco con observar este bello concierto con el gran maestro Barenboim. Sin duda alguna, somos dichosos de disfrutar de la música del cielo.
DaCapo2010.....Spot on! The wonder of Brahms is the way he wraps his great and profound ocean of mood and feeling within the unlikely confines of Sonata form...thus helping to shape it, master it, enhance its dramatic impact and make it more accessible to us lesser mortals.
Un concierto excepcional de un autor magistral interpretado en forma realmente sensacional. Todo un festival para los sentidos estèticos-musicales de aquellos que somos amantes de la mùsica de Brahms !!!!!!!
No cabe duda, que la música de Brahms tiene una fuerza y una proyección esplendida, y la interpretación tanto de la orquesta como del solista, lo demuestra fielmente.
Grandísimo Brahms, cada día me gusta mas. Muy buena interpretación conducida por el gran Celibidache y un Baremboim, que no debería haber trocado el piano por la batuta. En resumen excelente esta grabación.

Es increíble el talento y la capacidad de Barenboim, uno de los músicos más geniales de los últimos 50 años. Y junto al gran Celibidache, se hace aún más gigante.
This is really Barenboim's wheelhouse. He really does seem to nail Brahms and Beethoven concertos. Johannes and Ludwig would approve.
Bach doesn't even have any piano concertos..
Barenboin es realmente excepcional como pianista y director de orquesta....
En su interpretación de BEETHOVEN es fuerte...enérgico...pone toda el alma en cada nota....
Escuchándolo ahora en Brahams....UUUUFFFF......GENIAL...FANTASTICO
Il grande Sergiu Celibidache, il Romeno che ha superato se stesso e ha trionfato nella musica!

This is the most awesome and beautiful performance of this concerto in many years.Possibly the best ever!! Thank you so much..Love you all..John Rapp
WOW...this is a master piece of music. And Barenboim - Celibidache are a perfect couple. Never heard better......
Polline and Abbado is great too!
I totally agree. This performance is magisterial. Brahms' wistfulness and romantic nostalgia is there together with perfectly clear fraseggio. Bravo maestro Barenboim. Celibidache is one of the unsung heroes of conducting in the past century.
Y los músicos de la orquesta
I Have Heard This Concerto all of my Life , But Never Like This !! This Performance Was A REVELATION of This Great Concerto !! Brahms , Celibidache , Barenboim, a match made in Heaven !!!....
Celibidache is a conductor for those who really and truly love classical music. Immortal maestro!
¿Y Barenboin...?

The best Brahms Piano Concerto,nice streaming,wonderful Daniel Barenboim (pianist) and all music team.
Agree. Thanks.
My favourite piano concerto in an amazing performance by Daniel Baremboim and the Münchner Philharmoniker conducted by the great Sergiu Celibidache.
This was a monumental event. Thank you Brahms, Barenboim and Celibidache.
Celli-Barenboim-Brahms mix; what a divine concerto for keeps!
Recorded in 1991, such a precious performance was preserved and uploaded! Thank you Todo Gardel!
Brahms' no.2 concerto is said to be one of the most difficult piano pieces.First performance was in Nov.9,1881. Brahms himself played the piano with great success. Later, Hans von Bülow conducted.

_That trill @ __48:17__!_ 😁
Thank you so much for sharing this precious performance by Celibidache and Barenboim. Became my favorite Brahms Piano Concerto No. 2 interpretations.
Sem dúvida, uma das 5 melhores performances desse belíssimo concerto de Sir J. Brahms!
Celibidache conducts the orchestra with such an impulse and with such an intelligent musical phrasing that it transcends music of Brahms. Celibidache takes literally Barenboim in a piano “fougue”.

One great Composer, two Maestros and a very good Orchestra ~ can only result in superb listening pleasure :o)
Thanks MEZZO and TodoGardel!
This work was no mistake! Brahms is a musical genius!
Большое наслаждение слушать прекраснейший форт.концерт в исполнении великого музыканта современности Д.Барембойма!
Wunderbar! Die Ruhe und Poesie! Toll❤
Strait from heaven.. tears of gratefulness!
Wow, this pianist IS a virtuoso! Thank you for the upload.
Brahms ranks among the world's greatest composers for his mastery of orchestration and form. I am a composer who has been awed by the wide range emotions in his works ranging from thunderous climaxes to quiet contemplation.
One of the best music ever written/played!!
Compositor, pianista, orquesta, que hermoso. Pero que interpretación la que logra Celibadice. Inolvidable.
Played with such joy and intense depth; a profound understanding of this music. A very elegant style
Brahms: I need to start paying more attention to his music. This is beautiful.
Tout est clarté, autant dans le jeu pianistique de Barenboim que dans la direction de l'immense Celibidache. c'est une des plus grandes version de ce grand oeuvre de Brahms. Chef-d'oeuvre d'ouverture sur la magie du monde.

Muchas gracias.

This song is unrelated to the forgetting of the years .
It continues to impress our hearts beyond the times .

Beloved Brahms, unique Celibidache, great Barenboim. And applause for the cellist too.
deux chefs d orchestre exigeants et parmi les meilleurs e t musique qui transporte au paradis de la musique
Great performance. Wonderful orchestral sounds. Especially the second movement. Great writing for horn by Brahms. I hope youtube continues to provide all this music. I'll gladly pay for it.
Absolute Madness!! Never get tired of hearing this complex - yet easy to understand work of art!
When you first see the thumbnail, I wasn't sure if he was conducting or playing. I'm glad he played it. Stupendous work!
I thought Richter "owned" the Brahms 2nd until I heard Barenboim's rendition. It might lack a bit of Richter's amazing technical skill, but it makes up for it in the lovely interpretation which he sustains throughout this long and varied work. The connection between the pianist and the orchestra is never compromised here. It is not a soloist and an orchestra, but one continuous river of music, a delight from start to finish!
In what way does he lack technical skill? Not apparent to me.
Masterpiece of Brahms is played by maestro Daniel Barembroim has given me a lots of positive emotions! Thank you for all orchestra
I always find myself rooting for Barenboim in whatever he tries to do. His playing is always grounded in excellent style and rhythm, and goes a little out of bounds in terms of expression and tone, which can't really be held against him in this great literature. Bravo!

So wonderful, but then...it's Brahms...Thank You!...
At 54 minutes, this must be one of the longest concertos of all time. It’s magnificent.
No, the first Brahms' piano concerto is a bit longer than this one. And the longest piano concerto lasts more or less than 70 minutes.

One of the greatest blessings of my childhood was Brahms. This piece has been with me from my birth.
It brings tears to my eyes every time I hear such beautiful stirring music. Superb performance!

Me encanta este concierto y con ellos, más
Qué emoción escuchar a un compatriota y leer todos los comentarios positivos. El segundo movimiento es precioso!!
Barenboim seems to have been born for this Brahms concerto ... brilliant
Gosto imenso deste concerto, aqui executado magistralmente por Barenboim. Sempre que oiço este concerto lembro-me o celebro filme "Aimez vous Brahms"

Words are not enough to express such a beauty
Quand deux grands se rencontrent pour interpréter une aussi grande oeuvre, le résultat ne peut être que grandiose !
Brahms' orchestration is such a master piece that I don't think Barenboim dares to conduct while playing piano, as what he's done to many other concertos.
da lacrima. Celi ti adoro
Magnífico! Gostaria de viver uma vida digna dessa trilha sonora.

Al maestro Celibidache le tengo un profundo respeto. Recientemente estoy disfrutando de sus versiones de las sinfonías de Beethoven, hoy me complazco con observar este bello concierto con el gran maestro Barenboim.
Sin duda alguna, somos dichosos de disfrutar de la música del cielo.
This is my perfect combination and version of Brahms piano concerto 2 forever !!
DaCapo2010.....Spot on! The wonder of Brahms is the way he wraps his great and profound ocean of mood and feeling within the unlikely confines of Sonata form...thus helping to shape it, master it, enhance its dramatic impact and make it more accessible to us lesser mortals.
This was so beautiful, WOW! What a treat! Celibidache, Barenboim and Brams...epic
Exceptional music, virtuoso performers. Let the world survive to provide ears to hear this work of pure genius.
Esta grabación es un lujo. Los dos mejores junto con la orquesta¡¡¡¡ GRACIAS¡¡
The 3rd movement is some of Brahms finest music. Meltingly beautiful.
So beautiful, it takes my breath away!
Un concierto excepcional de un autor magistral interpretado en forma realmente sensacional.
Todo un festival para los sentidos estèticos-musicales de aquellos que somos amantes de la mùsica de Brahms !!!!!!!
This is the most great piece concerto of Brahms play by Barenboim. Thank you.
Fantastisk smuk. Det er utroligt at vi er skabt sådan, at vi kan nyde smuk musik. Det kan ikke være blind tilfældighed.
One of the best performance I have ever heard,
Un pezzo di musica maestoso, un capolavoro! Tre grandi talenti

GRANDIOSA INTERPRETACIÓN. BARENBOIM ESPECTACULAR. CELIBIDACHE SOBERBIO
No cabe duda, que la música de Brahms tiene una fuerza y una proyección esplendida, y la interpretación tanto de la orquesta como del solista, lo demuestra fielmente.
Grandísimo Brahms, cada día me gusta mas. Muy buena interpretación conducida por el gran Celibidache y un Baremboim, que no debería haber trocado el piano por la batuta. En resumen excelente esta grabación.
